Who Should I Start? Stefon Diggs or Travis Hunter

Thursday, August 14, 7:10 AM

New England Patriots wide receiver Stefon Diggs was signed in the offseason to add firepower to the team's pass-catching corps. He tore his ACL during the 2024 season while a member of the Houston Texans and has been easing back into action thus far in training camp. Diggs has been fully cleared for participation in camp, but he did not suit up for New England's first preseason game last week. He sat down and talked to Scoop City's Dianna Russini on Wednesday, but would not commit to being ready to play against the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 1 as he told her "we'll see" when asked. Signs have been positive for Diggs thus far, but fantasy managers drafting him need to at least be aware of the possibility that he is not out there in Week 1.

The Jacksonville Jaguars might hold rookie two-way star Travis Hunter (upper body) out of their second preseason game on Sunday against the New Orleans Saints as a precaution while he deals with an upper-body injury, according to head coach Liam Coen. Hunter didn't take part in the team's walkthrough practice on Friday due to his injury, per ESPN's Michael DiRocco. The 22-year-old second overall pick in this year's NFL draft doesn't appear to be dealing with a serious injury, but we'll keep a close eye on his health heading into the final week of the preseason next week. He will be considered day-to-day for now. The Jaguars have every intention of playing Hunter on both sides of the ball in his first year in the NFL, which makes it hard to gauge the Heisman Trophy Winner's fantasy potential in Year 1. He has the upside to be the team's WR2 right away, but he still makes for a boom/bust WR3/flex target in fantasy.
